Sarah Triplett

Sarah Triplett is the co-founder of Secure Start Partners, a fractional CISO and GRC consulting firm built for growth-stage companies that need senior security leadership without a full-time hire. She works at the intersection of cybersecurity, regulatory compliance, and AI governance - helping founders and CTOs build security programs that protect the business and unlock enterprise deals.

Sarah's sweet spot is early-stage health tech and B2B SaaS companies, particularly those navigating their first SOC 2, HIPAA readiness assessment, or FDA cybersecurity requirements for SaMD products. She brings a practical, founder-friendly approach to compliance, the right controls in the right order for where a company actually is.

Sarah loves working with first-time founders who are hitting compliance for the first time — companies that are finally getting serious about security because a customer, investor, or regulatory requirement is asking the right questions. She is especially drawn to health tech startups where quality, security, and FDA requirements overlap, and where the work directly supports better patient and consumer outcomes.
